Q: I would appreciate your comparison of Enerplus (ERF) and Whitecap (WCP). I have done well by ERF but RBC's recent downgrade on the basis of its price appreciation makes me wonder if the growth prospects for WCP might be appreciably better. There would be no tax consequences to me of making such a switch and the dividends are similar. I look forward to your reply.

Q: Eric Nuttall just trashed Surge Energy and Bellatrix Exp. as being 'un-investible' companies, while at the same time highlighted EnCana and Tourmaline Oil as his top picks, both of which are owned by Sprott (the company he works for)....is this good advice, or the type of conduct that caused you to create 5i? Thanks as always...

Q: Bellatrix (BXE). I am down 18% on this company. I know they did a bought deal at $9.50 and that it was reduced. Is it more volatile because it does not pay a dividend and shorts don't have to cover the dividend? Should I continue to hold or buy more or wait. It is dragging down the rest of my portfolio.

Q: Bankers Petroleum (BNK)had a sudden price drop today, followed by a rebound. The volume of shares being traded is six times than the average normal. There was a trading halt today, followed by resumption. The company is having an investor day conference in Toronto, followed by another one in London. The company seems to be doing all the right things. The stock is up 70% from the time I bought it. Should I hold or sell it here.

Q: Greetings, Peter & Co.
I appears that my previous question did not reach you so I will resubmit it and add another to it, if I may.
1. I am looking to profit from the aging 'boomers' by investing in a healthcare REIT. One possibility that I have found is Northwest Healthcare (NWH.UN)which has a very decent yield. What is you opinion of this stock? Would you recommend an alternative?
2. I would appreciate you analysis of Spartan Energy (SPE.V). Is it a buy at $4.00?
Thank you for your invaluable service to small retail investors.

Q: tbe after going up some has steadily retreated again-is there fear of a dividend cut ?
Read Answer Asked by terrance on June 04, 2014
Q: Good afternoon,

My question today is on WEQ and its relatively high dividend. Would you please provide an opinion on whether or not you think that this dividend is sustainable for the foreseeable future (1-2 yrs) and also comment on the payout ratio as an important indicator of whether or not the dividend is likely to be cut. Thank you.

Q: Since I already owned SVY Savannah when Eric Nuttall had it as one of his top picks, I bought more. I think I have the wrong driller, all the others seem to be moving up. In order of best of breed should I switch out of Savannah and go for PHX, WES, CDI, XDC, AKT.A, TCW, PD or FRC. Could you please rank for me. Thanks for everything.
